A Monday Lunch Affair @ Botanic Gardens ♥

A meetup finally with the ladies, on 9th May. Yups that's last month. And, June is gonna end in a week's time.

Time FLIES.

Instant attraction to the white swans, seriously. No joke man. Here's the zoom-ed in shots. Pretty eh.

Yes, another attraction. We're that easily fascinated. The weird-looking yet interesting flowers.

Yeah! My 1st time to Botanic Gardens! >.<~~

A long walk......

Finally! Lunch @ Halia Restaurant. We had Lunch Specials.

3-Course $32++. Expensive.

For appetiser, it was a dish I'd never tried before. Beetroot, goat feta cheese, fresh orange, pine nut, mesclun salad in xeres vinaigrette. A rather big portion AND of acquired taste.

The ladies ordered the respective 3 other appetisers on the Lunch Specials Menu.

The dish on the left is an appetiser as well - Jalapeno basil prawn cake with mango salsa and mesclun salad. On the right, is the Singapore-style chilli crab spaghettini (with real crab meat). They had this as their main course.

I had something different, which is the herb-marinated seafood skewer. There's grilled prawn, scallop, squid and mussel, couscous salad and citrus vinaigrette. Very fresh and juicy. Small portion though. I did help 1 of 'em polish off the spaghettini :d~ FYI, me don't like to waste food.

The desserts were not bad. Mine was really normal. Chocolate brownie, macadamia ice cream, pecan and maple syrup.

More interesting ones are the cappuccino "dunking pit" and young ginger frozen nougat parfait. According to the waitress, the former had a strong taste which one might not like. My friend went ahead to order it and thankfully she did. It taste awesomeee! Layered warm chocolate, vanilla ice cream AND iced coffee shaving WITH brownie cookie! OMG what's not to like?! Kinda overwhelming for one BUT it makes a good dessert to SHARE 

Recommended! (if you've the extra cash to spare.) An occasional indulgence doesn't hurt.

The weather was super duper effin' hot! But great for camwhorin' though. Oh well.

Fascinated by the mini waterfall. Like what the DOTS. Ahems.

Don't look like we're in S'pore somehow.

My really simple LOTD using Maybelline BB Cream. Flawless skin? :3

If only I can slim down just like Missy Lee. If only I hate eating. No way. I live to eat. Gosh.
